Conjunctivitis


Just make sure it's not Iritis/Uveitis that can easily be misdiagnosed as Conjunctivitis.
Happened to me and resulted in regular trips to eye infirmary and initially a git big needle injecting steroids straight into my eyeball.

Iritis won't usually involve "gunk" etc but will cause massive pain when looking at lights or eye movement in general.

Walked round the chemist yesterday and spoke with the main man . He said was Conjunctivitis and has given me some drops which seems to be working

Good stuff
I went to pharmacist and GP who both suggested conjunctivitis and after about 10-12 days of agony just went to eye infirmary.
 
just get some brolene from the chemist. I always keep some in the house. Can get it off the shelf and it clears up conjunctivitis pretty quickly

Drops ever 2 hours for first 2 days and then 4 hours for next 3 . Think I have a relatively mild case thankfully . was sore as on Saturday when I woke up with it
 
Normally it clears itself after a few days so I ignored it and left it a couple of months, turns out it was something else (beginning with a B).
 
Has anyone else had dry eyes for weeks after their conjunctivitis cleared up?
I had it just after new year, cleared up after a few days with drops from the chemist, but my eyes have been dry/itchy pretty much daily since. More irritating than the conjunctivitis itself to be honest

You can buy drops that help with dry eyes. Supermarkets and chemists sell them.

I use them as sometimes my eyes feel dry with contact lenses in.

Aye Viscotears they're called. Used them myself when I get dry eyes. Any pharmacy sells them
